The problem is that OpenNTPd stopped being portable when it started assuming that it could retrieve the adjtime() time delta as a normal user. There was a corresponding kernel change in OpenBSD. FreeBSD eventually got this too, sort of by accident, and I don't know if Linux has it, but this is not generally available. adjfreq() is also not portable but can be easily mapped to ntp_adjtime(), which just about any Unix other than OpenBSD has. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
